Synopsis In the Rock Art Studies in India the Asiatic Society, Kolkata, played a pioneering role in focusing attention on the importance and significance as a source material in the reconstruction of ancient period of Indian History, from the Palaeolithic age. The Rock Art Studies were initiated by the Asiatic Society in 1870. There was, however, a lack of serious studies on Rock Art in recent years. This year, the Asiatic Society has decided to organize a national seminar on Rock Art Studies in India to revive and initiate fresh and serious studies on Rock Art. The publication of the present monograph is part of that programme.
